It's been exactly two months since the historic 500-year flood
devastated much of our hometown of Lyons. As the flood waters
receded we vowed to rebuild Planet Bluegrass better than ever.
On this two month anniversary, we're even more determined to make
2014 our most powerful summer of festivals in both Lyons and
Telluride.
So before we go any further, grab your calendar. Here are our
upcoming lottery and ticket onsale dates:
--> Telluride Bluegrass camping in Town Park & Warner Field: online
lottery open now (!) thru Nov. 13 at 11:59pm MST
--> RockyGrass Academy: online lottery open now (!) thru Nov. 13
at 11:59pm MST
--> RockyGrass camping in Onsite Campground: online lottery open
Nov. 18 thru Dec. 1
--> Folks Festival: onsale Wednesday, Dec. 4
--> RockyGrass: onsale Thursday, Dec. 5
--> Telluride Bluegrass: onsale Friday, Dec. 6
Though the flood destroyed much of Lyons' infrastructure, many in
Lyons are now able to return to their homes and reopen their
businesses -- thanks to the tireless efforts of town officials,
work crews, volunteers, and many local and national teams (including
FEMA and the National Guard). Here on Planet Bluegrass we officially
reopened our offices last Monday morning. With all of us gathered
together in the first repaired building (dubbed the Festivarian
Embassy), we're ready to reconnect with Festivarian Nation via your
phone calls and emails, as Planet Bluegrass 2.0 continues to take
shape outside our door.
Amidst the flood rebuilding, we've spent much of the last two
months talking with musicians about our 2014 season. We've begun
to post the instructors for the RockyGrass Academy (July 20-24)
including Bryan Sutton, Noam Pikelny, Matt Flinner, Chris Eldridge,
Sally Van Meter, and many others. Keep checking back as we'll
continue to post more instructors as soon as they confirm (and
don't forget to submit your lottery entry by this Wednesday night!).
Look for us to begin announcing initial festival lineups in the
next few weeks...
Thanks for all the generous and heartwarming offers of support over
the past few months. There will be opportunities to help with Planet
Bluegrass's flood recovery in the coming months. In the meantime, we
encourage you to help our community via the many resources at
LyonsFightsBack.org.
With love,
The Folks on Planet Bluegrass
